The SV Times - Gnus of Interest

News in the City
by Connor Frio

School overcrowding is reaching epic proportions in Sunset Valley. Teachers are complaining that their classrooms don't have enough desks for the number of students. Parents are complaining because their kids skip school. The kids complain since it takes them over 2 hours to enter the door and get to their desk. They say that's the main cause of skipping school, why enter if half the day is gone already.

We interviewed Mayor MJ Rose-McPherson about the situation.

"Well, of course the city would love to have more funding for schools, but we just don't have the budget to support it. As you know, we offered some incentives so the Backlot Studio would set up here. And those incentives cut the rest of the budget to the bone."

"Then the incentives were a bad idea?"

"I'm sure that having a new industry in town will make life much better in the long run. It's just going to be a bit rough for the next two years. I've asked the governor for assistance. However she has yet to reply."

I managed to convince Governor Christi Clayton to an interview.

"Sunset Valley gets just as much of the government money as the other cities in our district. It is not our responsibility to throw more money toward a city that spent over a quarter of their budget on some 'incentive' scheme.

People in the City
by Cycl0n3 Sw0rd

Landgraab family gathered in the local library. Patriarch Geoffrey Landgraab, both his sons Malcolm and Brendan and Malcolm's wife Bella all decided to take a break in the library.

Malcolm said, "We're really mostly a bunch of bookworms and this gives us a break from the babies."

"Babies?"

"Bella gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. We're quite excited of course but a little stressed from having two babies to deal with."

Ripley Warren-Hawke spent much of the evening playing at Red Rendezvous.

"There wasn't a big crowd tonight, but the people here were most appreciative of my music. They dropped over a hundred simoleons into my case."

Relationships in the city
by Star Matlock

Bradley Kane and Courtney Leman were getting to know each other better in one of the traditional town trysting places, the Pleasant Rest Graveyard at night. The teenagers were willing to spend until the wee hours of the morning, unfortunately for them, the police regularly look for teen couples. Worse for Courtney was her father Thomas was the cop that busted them.

"Courtney did try the 'Oh Daddy, we just lost track of time' ploy," Thomas Leman stated. "So she's grounded until she can prove her ability to tell the time properly. She might be allowed out by the time she's an adult, maybe."

"And the Kane boy?"

"His father did not look pleased to see a police car arrive outside his house with his son in it. I believe a few words were dropped in the boy's ear."

Jon Marsh and Pauline Wan were seen together at The Corner Pub. The two of them were getting along quite well, which is only to be expected of two of the biggest flirts in town.

They also share a similar history. Jon was married once and has divorced. Pauline was married once and has divorced. They both left children behind with their former spouses.

Sunset Valley Chess Tournaments
By Autumn Portobella

Trina Sw0rd is still working her way through the chess ranks. Her last opponent was Thomas Leman. After two matches, Mr Leman graciously admitted defeat.

"Her opening gambit was superb," said Mr Leman discussing the match. "Trina is a moderately aggressive player and I wasn't keeping my defenses in line well enough.  We may have a new Chess champion in the city soon."

The SV Times - Connor Frio's Blog

Hey there, loyal readers. I'm Connor, investigative reporter for the SV Times. The management in their infinite wisdom have decided that the reporting staff "Shall blog from time to time to remind the readers that there are people behind the stories." There are always people behind the stories. Some of them make the news. Some of us report it. We are all people.

I think it's a bulls**t idea but hey, they pay for my time. Even when it's a blog.

At any rate, here's a pic of me and one of my girls. My Celeste. She's such a little sweetheart.

It has been interesting for me since Alicia entered my life. A wife, a step-daughter and my own little girl. When Alicia first tried to woo me, I couldn't believe that a relationship with anyone would work. I prefer my solitude; reading a good book in a quiet corner. She had her work cut out for her, convincing me that I could love her and accept her daughter as my own.

She was very right. You know, I can't imagine life without any of them now.

Alicia has been a bit touchy of late. She's had another birthday and I dare not mention anything around her that even vaguely sounds like birthday.
